I'm sure you get the point, and I am in no way saying that anyone if these games is horrible but I am just pointing out a trend that seemed more so prevalent this year then past. Gaming in general has gotten better in the 20 or so years I have been part of it. Though for every MW3 you get ten terrible movie cash ins or games that just suck and this year we saw a lot of that. Well in truth we will always need terrible games to make the truly great ones be what they are. Now I collectively played less games this year then in the past due to University and other things taking up a lot of my time I have instead opted to play games that I know I can get enjoyment out of for months if not years. That's why I picked up Skyrim, Disgaea 4, and SWTOR because I know I can enjoy them for many months SWTOR especially. This year was a good year for gamers in general and while there is nothing I am really looking out for in the new year (with the exception of Mass Effect 3) I think the big gaming companies will continue to produce better and better products.
